I loved everything about Iona Hostel! The location was beautiful and the hostel very comfortable. The staff were friendly, as was the atmosphere in the hostel. Everyone very sociable and relaxed! It's located in green fields with farm animals nearby. About 10 minutes walk from the ferry, with easy access to some of the most beautiful beaches you will ever... More

A great place to stay on this beautiful island. Clean, comfortable and well equipped. Every day was different with new people arriving and others leaving. Hostel living makes for interesting time if you like meeting people. Travelled with 4 kids but was never made to feel they were a nuisance. At north of island. Turn right when u get off... More

We had a lovely 2 night stay. We had our own room for 2. Very pleasant manager and guests. Comfortable, very well equipped kitchen and many food basics from prior guests. Some reviewers had complained about cold showers--we had lots of very hot water. I suspect others did not understand the peculiar operation of British showers. Also others complained about... More

My three day stay at Iona Hostel was fantastic. I have never stayed in a hostel before, and wasn't too eager too but this place is truly special. It is the most remote place on the island but is such a pleasant walk, takes about 10 mins to get to the Abbey and all other attractions, maximum 20 mins walk... More

Great hostel experience, just a short walk to the beach, and close to Dun I, the hiking destination. The staff was delightful, especially the young Scottish gentleman working there who alerted us to a black sheep named Shorn Connery, who thinks it's a dog. Take some cookies and you will have a terrific afternoon. The one caveat is that the... More

The hostel is a fair walk from the ferry but on the door step is the most beautiful beach. Very good facilities and clean. Surprised to see this hostel is still using sleeping sheets when most others are using fitted sheets. Found the person running the hostel had a bit of a attitude problem and the owner would do well... More

I stayed for 3 days last month. The location is absolutely stunning, with ocean view and quick access to the beaches. The staff was really helpful. The facility is clean, everyone has to remove their shoes in the entry area. Given that Iona has sheep roaming everywhere, and leaving their droppings, this is a terrific policy. Food - The kitchen... More
